Review of ORNL-TSF shielding experiments for the gas-cooled Fast Breeder Reactor Program (open access)

Review of ORNL-TSF shielding experiments for the gas-cooled Fast Breeder Reactor Program

During the period between 1975 and 1980 a series of experiments was performed at the ORNL Tower Shielding Facility in support of the shield design for a 300-MW(e) Gas Cooled Fast Breeder Demonstration Plant. This report reviews the experiments and calculations, which included studies of: (1) neutron streaming in the helium coolant passageways in the GCFR core; (2) the effectiveness of the shield designed to protect the reactor grid plate from radiation damage; (3) the adequacy of the radial shield in protecting the PCRV (prestressed concrete reactor vessel) from radiation damage; (4) neutron streaming between abutting sections of the radial shield; and (5) the effectiveness of the exit shield in reducing the neutron fluxes in the upper plenum region of the reactor.

An Investigation of the Management Accounting Framework for Performance Evaluation in American Multinational Enterprises (open access)

An Investigation of the Management Accounting Framework for Performance Evaluation in American Multinational Enterprises

The development of adequate performance evaluation techniques for appraising foreign subsidiaries and their managers in an environment different from their domestic ones has been suggested as an area where management accounting should be extended. This study concerned the performance evaluation of foreign subsidiary managers with the following objectives: (1) to examine the relationships among environmental factors and foreign subsidiary performance, (2) to develop a multinational enterprise (MNE) environmental model to evaluate the performance of subsidiary managers on the basis of controllable factors only, and (3) to test the model in American multinational enterprises for the existence of association among environmental factors and measured performance of foreign subsidiaries. The research method employed in this study was to test for association between noncontrollable environmental factors of a particular foreign country and measured performance of the foreign subsidiary (in terms of ROI) in that particular country. Major noncontrollable factor groups used were economic, political-legal, educational, and social environmental constraints.

Debris-bed cooling following an HCDA in a fast reactor. Annual progress report (open access)

Debris-bed cooling following an HCDA in a fast reactor. Annual progress report

Natural convection within simulated core debris beds has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The objectives of this research have been: (1) to develop a three-dimensional transient model for analyzing single-phase cooling of debris beds; (2) to validate the model using out-of-pile simulant experiments which measure the detailed structure of the convection cells within the bed as well as integral heat transfer rates; and (3) to apply the model to typical core debris beds over a wide range of parameters in order to determine the relative importance of conduction and convection in sodium-cooled debris beds. The bed has been simulated using directly heated two-dimensional packed tube bundles of different particle diameters, bed loadings, porosities, heat generation rates, and overlaying fluid layer heights. Detailed velocity and temperature profiles within the bed and overlaying fluid have been measured using particle tracing techniques and Mach-Zehnder interferometry. Measurements of the downward and upward power fractions and Nusselt numbers over a wide range of experimental variables have been made. The data have been compared with predictions of the transient three-dimensional natural convection computer code COMMIX-1A. 14 figures.

Social Control in the Newsroom: A Case Study (open access)

Social Control in the Newsroom: A Case Study

The problem of this study is to investigate how news policy in the Denton Record-Chronicle is defined and maintained and whether the newspaper staffers tend to conform to or conflict with the newspaper's news policy. The study suggests that the more experienced the staffer, the more likely he will conflict with the newspaper's news policy, and the less experienced the staffer, the more likely he will conform to the newspaper's news policy. Social control is in the hand of the newspaper organization. That is, the newspaper tends to control the mechanisms of social control. However, unless the newspaper recognizes the needs of the staffers' participation in its editorial decision, conflict may continue to be an important factor in the newsroom work-setting.

Tritium Breeding in Fusion Reactors (open access)

Tritium Breeding in Fusion Reactors

Key technological problems that influence tritium breeding in fusion blankets are reviewed. The breeding potential of candidate materials is evaluated and compared to the tritium breeding requirements. The sensitivity of tritium breeding to design and nuclear data parameters is reviewed. A framework for an integrated approach to improve tritium breeding prediction is discussed with emphasis on nuclear data requirements.

Locus of Control and Adjustment to Retirement (open access)

Locus of Control and Adjustment to Retirement

Locus of desired control and participation in a retirement preparation program was investigated in relation to retirement attitudes and adjustment. Fifty-nine subjects, consisting of older workers and retirees from a large southwestern corporation, comprised the sample. An experimental group, consisting of 12 subjects, completed questionnaires prior to and following their participation in the retirement preparation program. A control group, consisting of 15 subjects, completed the same questionnaires at approximately the same times as did the experimental group, but did not receive retirement preparation. A third group, consisting of 20 retirees who had a previous retirement preparation experience and 12 retirees who had not had such a retirement preparation experience, completed similar questionnaires.
